MURRAY COUNTY POETRYPoems by Murray Poets and Poems About Murray County I WONDER by John Homer Luffman1910-1987 I'VE PICKED UP ARROWHEADS AT TIMES AND WONDERED LONG IF THESE HAD GONE AMISS OR FOUND THEIR MARK WHEN SHOT BY CHEROKEES. I FOUND A MIMIE BALL UPON RESACA'S BATTLEGROUND- COULD IT HAVE CAUSED A MAN TO FALL? I MUSED AT WHAT I'D FOUND. I'LL NEVER KNOW- JUST WONDER IF THE ARROW HIT THE SPOT, OR IF THE LEADEN BULLET CLAIMED SOME SOLDIER'S LIFE OR NOT. PERHAPS WE SHOULDN'T FRET ABOUT THE THINGS OF LONG AGO. IT MIGHT NOT CHANGE WHAT IS AHEAD IF WE THE PAST COULD KNOW. FAR BETTER THAT WE THINK ON THINGS UNFOLDING DAY BY DAY AND THINGS WHICH IN THE FUTURE MAY BE THROWN INTO OUR WAY. Murray County Poetry
